Just posting to wish everyone a happy and safe 2006. Here's a New Year's toast I first heard in Crete.
May the best thing that happened to you last year, be the worst thing that happens to you this year.
Settling in well, if slowly in the new place. Have scheduled this coming Saturday for moving the everything left out of the out house and bringing in here or in storage. I have the most amazing friends.
And just because I think everyone needs to hear this.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, which most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
You’re playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
You were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
- Nelson Mandela
